For a moment, I thought "but you can do that now..."

Then I took a look at RFC2026 in closer detail, and section 3.3 (e)
defines a "Not Recommended" status, just like I remembered.

Unfortunately, that seems to be strictly applicable to standards-track
documents only, not 'informational'.  Whether this is a bug or a feature
I'll let others decide - it looks like a giant economy sized can-o-worms.
